Woman assaulted during home invasion

HAMILTON POLICE

Hamilton police are looking for three men after a violent home invasion in Stoney Creek.

The armed men entered the Gray Road home through an unlocked door and assaulted the 48-year-old female resident when she wouldn't give them cash, police said.

They ripped two necklaces off her body and one of the men struck her with the butt of a weapon, knocking her unconscious, police said. The woman was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

After searching through the home, the suspects left with the necklaces.

All three suspects are described as men between 25 and 30 years old.

One is about 6-foot with brown eyes. He was last seen in a black nylon mask and a baseball hat.

The second suspect is 5-foot-8 to 5-foot-9 with brown eyes, short brown hair. He wasn't wearing a mask.

The third, 5-foot-10, was possibly wearing a mask.

Detectives believe it was a targeted incident, and continue to investigate.
